Once a crow and his wife built their nest on a tremendous banyan tree adjacent to a river. They were exceptionally cheerful there. But, when the female crow laid her eggs, they were in for a disagreeable stun. A large snake who lived in the hole of the same tree\s trunk came up and ate all their eggs.
The crows were vulnerable with outrage and torment. "You can't give this evil snake a chance to eat our kids any longer," cried the female crow sharply. "You need to figure out how to spare them from him,' she said.
"Let\s go to our friend the jackal. He is exceptionally shrewd. He will definitely have the capacity to assist us with an answer," said the male crow.
They both traveled to the collapse of the backwoods where their companion the jackal lived.
The jackal saw them coming. "Hi, my friends. You are welcomed. For what reason do you look so dismal and stressed? Would I be able to help you in any way?" He inquired.
"Each time my better half lays eggs in our home, an insidious snake living at the foot of the tree gobbles them up," said the crow.
"We need to dispose of him and spare our kids. It would be ideal if you reveal to us what we can do."
The jackal thought for quite a while. "I realize what you ought to do," said the jackal and he advised the plan to the crows.
“It is the habit of the queen to accompany her maids for a bath to the stream. Now when she comes, she will remove all her clothes and jewels. Certainly, she will put all these on the stream bank”. Said the jackal and paused.
“Then what to us”. Asked the crows.
The Jackal smiled. “You don’t know what I am going to say”.
“How we can know, what is in your brain”? Replied both the crows.
“The queen will help you”. Said the jackal.
“Why the queen will help us”. Asked the male crow.
“The queen will have to help you”. Responded to the jackal.
“Who will force her to do so?”
“You! My dear, you will force the queen to do so.” Said the jackal.
“I small bird will force a queen to obey me.”
. How it is possible.
“Allah has blessed you with wisdom. Use it. Your problem can be solved very easily.”
“Don’t waste time anymore and tell us immediately.” Asked the female crow.
The jackal told the plan, which was very easy and practical. Both the crows were very happy to find the solution to their problem.
The next day, when the queen was taking bath into the river, the two flew over the heap of garments and gems. The female crow quickly grabbed a valuable pearl neckband in her nose. In the meantime, the male crow started to caw boisterously to pick up the attention of the queen and the soldiers.
Oh God! "Those crows have taken my pearl accessory." cried the queen. Watchmen! Recover that necklace from those troublesome crows." The soldiers the crows yelling uproariously. The crows flew straight to the banyan tree with the watchmen not far behind. Hearing all the clamor, the snake left his gap at the foot of the tree. Quickly, the female crow dropped the accessory right where the snake was. 
"Watch out! There is an immense snake close to the neckband," alarmed one soldier.
Prior to the snake could understand what was occurring, the soldiers assaulted him with sharp lances and slaughtered him. They grabbed the neckband and took it back to their ruler. The crows expressed gratitude toward their friend the jackal for helping them dispose of their foe. Afterward, they lived cheerfully with their children.
